Caring for succulent plants inside the house in a pot without a drainage hole requires some special attention to prevent overwatering and root rot. Here are some tips to help you care for your succulents:

• Soil Mix: Use a cactus or succulent-specific soil mix, which is designed to drain quickly. You can also make your own by mixing regular potting soil with sand or perlite.

• Watering Frequency: Water your succulents sparingly. Typically, once every two to three weeks is sufficient, but this can vary depending on your climate and the season.
• Watering Method: Water the soil directly and avoid getting water on the leaves. Water lightly, ensuring the soil is damp but not soaked.

• Moisture Level: Check the moisture level in the soil before watering. The soil should be completely dry before you water again. You can use a moisture meter or stick your finger into the soil to check for moisture.
• Amount of Water: Since there's no drainage, it's crucial not to overwater. Add just enough water to moisten the soil without it becoming soggy.

• Sunlight: Place your succulents in a spot where they receive plenty of indirect sunlight. A south-facing window is ideal. Succulents need at least six hours of light per day.
• Rotate: Rotate the pot occasionally to ensure all sides of the plant get equal light.

• Ventilation: Good air circulation helps prevent mold and mildew. Avoid placing your succulents in a closed or stuffy area.

• Temperature: Keep your succulents in a stable environment with temperatures between 60°F and 80°F (15°C and 27°C). Avoid placing them near drafts or heat sources.

• Fertilizing: During the growing season (spring and summer), you can fertilize your succulents once a month with a diluted, balanced fertilizer. Avoid fertilizing in the dormant season (fall and winter).

• Pest Control: Keep an eye out for common succulent pests like mealybugs and spider mites. If you notice any, treat your plants with a natural pesticide or insecticidal soap.

• Repotting: If your succulent outgrows its pot or the soil becomes compacted, consider repotting it into a container with drainage. If that’s not an option, be extra careful with watering.

By following these tips, you can keep your indoor succulents healthy and thriving, even in pots without drainage holes.
